FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present disclosure relates to mobile electronic devices including at least one transparent display screen for comparing and accurately determining the color of a predetermined object for color and texture application. Particularly, the present disclosure provides a method and system for color analysis and control using a transparent display screen on a mobile device with non-transparent, bendable display screen or multiple display screen with 3d sensor for telemedicine diagnosis and treatment. Moreover, the present disclosure provides color analysis and control using an electronic mobile device transparent display screen, for a wide variety of applications, including, but not limited to color, shade and coating defect identification applications, as well as augmented reality applications. Furthermore, here is provided color and texture analysis with mobile device, transparent and non-transparent display screen with 3D sensor/3D optical camera sensor for accurate recording of visible medical condition to be sent to medical personnel for telemedicine diagnostics.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In the use of transparent display screens on mobile electronic device there is the desire to compare colors, shades, textures and other image parameters. The transparent display screen may be a single display layered or multiple display layered, bonded or formed monolithic. The particular electronic mobile device may have single or multiple transparent display screen with capability to have one layer become non-transparent/opaque. In using a transparent display layer, the user may identify, compare shades of color while looking through part of transparent display on a mobile device. The advantage of enabling comparison through transparent display screen is significant. This property exists since the color is shown on part of transparent display screen, as such, colors may be compared by directly compared to other colors or shades of a color using same light source seen through transparent display screen.

Individual perception of subject with color that is being compared will be more similar due to non-camera factors which will affect the results; which also include translucent shades like tinted beverage/fluid seen through glass. Example: looking through glass cup with beverage like dark beer, utilizing comparison shade guide seen through transparent display screen has advantage due to same background/surrounding/environment/lighting/objects seen behind the glass cup and transparent display will be same for more accuracy. Non-transparent display screen has a color “break” due to edge of screen, to include curve edge (which has slight lighting difference at the edges) and viewed camera limits (RGB).

On multiple transparent displays a layered screen, utilizing a transparent display screen to display coating defects in parallax image over the color, for more realistic image comparison. For comparing paint coatings, color identification is not only factor. Other factors include defects associated with coating systems (texture defects on the color), such as alligatoring, bleeding, blistering, checking, fisheyes, etc., which can be better visually shown through transparent display screen in form of overlay as viewed through transparent display screen.

There is the desire to perceive and control these image aspects with a transparent display screen on an electronic mobile device. With such ability, color, shade and coating defect identification and other variations could be appreciated. Such variations and their control could have application in a variety of scenarios, including augmented reality scenarios.

Rapid advances in Mobile Devices and AR/MR/VR Glasses Head Mount Unit (HMU) with transparent and non-transparent screen and 3D sensor/3D optical camera sensor make it possible to accurately capture digital imagery, including dimensional data, of medical anomalies. Patients can then transmit 3D images with color and texture data to their medical practitioner for analysis and initial diagnosis. General Practitioners may forward this data to a Specialist for an improved telemedicine diagnosis.

The user may make contact with the touch screen 112 using any suitable object or appendage, such as a stylus, a finger, and so forth. In some embodiments, the user interface is designed to work primarily with finger-based contacts and gestures, which are much less precise than stylus-based input due to the larger area of contact of a finger on the touch screen. In some embodiments, the device translates the rough finger-based input into a precise pointer/cursor position or command for performing the actions desired by the user.

In some embodiments, in addition to the touch screen, the device 100 may include a touchpad (not shown) for activating or deactivating particular functions. In some embodiments, the touchpad is a touch-sensitive area of the device that, unlike the touch screen, does not display visual output. The touchpad may be a touch-sensitive surface that is separate from the touch screen 112 or an extension of the touch-sensitive surface formed by the touch screen.

The device 100 also includes a power system 162 for powering the various components. The power system 162 may include a power management system, one or more power sources (e.g., battery, alternating current (AC)), a recharging system, a power failure detection circuit, a power converter or inverter, a power status indicator (e.g., a light-emitting diode (LED)) and any other components associated with the generation, management and distribution of power in portable devices.

The device 100 may also include one or more optical sensors 164. FIGS. 4A and 4B show an optical sensor coupled to an optical sensor controller 158 in I/O subsystem 106. The optical sensor 164 may include charge-coupled device (CCD) or complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) phototransistors. The optical sensor 164 receives light from the environment, projected through one or more lens, and converts the light to data representing an image. In conjunction with an imaging module 143 (also called a camera module), the optical sensor 164 may capture still images or video. In some embodiments, an optical sensor is located on the back of the device 100, opposite the touch screen display 112 on the front of the device, so that the touch screen display may be used as a viewfinder for either still and/or video image acquisition.

In some embodiments, an optical sensor is located on the front of the device so that the user's image may be obtained for videoconferencing while the user views the other video conference participants on the touch screen display. In some embodiments, the position of the optical sensor 164 can be changed by the user (e.g., by rotating the lens and the sensor in the device housing) so that a single optical sensor 164 may be used along with the touch screen display for both video conferencing and still and/or video image acquisition.

The device 100 may also include one or more proximity sensors 166. FIGS. 4A and 4B show a proximity sensor 166 coupled to the peripherals interface 118. Alternately, the proximity sensor 166 may be coupled to an input controller 160 in the I/O subsystem 106. The proximity sensor 166 may perform as described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/241,839, “Proximity Detector In Handheld Device,” filed Sep. 30, 2005; Ser. No. 11/240,788, “Proximity Detector In Handheld Device,” filed Sep. 30, 2005; Ser. No. 11/620,702, “Using Ambient Light Sensor To Augment Proximity Sensor Output”; Ser. No. 11/586,862, “Automated Response To And Sensing Of User Activity In Portable Devices,” filed Oct. 24, 2006; and Ser. No. 11/638,251, “Methods And Systems For Automatic Configuration Of Peripherals,” which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. In some embodiments, the proximity sensor turns off and disables the touch screen 112 when the multifunction device is placed near the user's ear (e.g., when the user is making a phone call). In some embodiments, the proximity sensor keeps the screen off when the device is in the user's pocket, purse, or other dark area to prevent unnecessary battery drainage when the device is a locked state.

The device 100 may also include one or more accelerometers 168. FIGS. 4A and 4B show an accelerometer 168 coupled to the peripherals interface 118. Alternately, the accelerometer 168 may be coupled to an input controller 160 in the I/O subsystem 106. The accelerometer 168 may perform as described in U.S. Patent Publication No. 20050190059, “Acceleration-based Theft Detection System for Portable Electronic Devices,” and U.S. Patent Publication No. 20060017692, “Methods and Apparatuses for Operating A Portable Device Based on An Accelerometer,” both of which are which are incorporated by reference in their entirety.

The communication module 128 facilitates communication with other devices over one or more external ports 124 and also includes various software components for handling data received by the RF circuitry 108 and/or the external port 124. The external port 124 (e.g., Universal Serial Bus (USB), FIREWIRE, etc.) is adapted for coupling directly to other devices or indirectly over a network (e.g., the Internet, wireless LAN, etc.). In some embodiments, the external port is a multi-pin (e.g., 30-pin) connector that is the same as, or similar to and/or compatible with the 30-pin connector used on iPod (trademark of Apple Computer, Inc.) devices.

The contact/motion module 130 may detect contact with the touch screen 112 (in conjunction with the display controller 156) and other touch sensitive devices (e.g., a touchpad or physical click wheel). The contact/motion module 130 includes various software components for performing various operations related to detection of contact, such as determining if contact has occurred, determining if there is movement of the contact and tracking the movement across the touch screen 112, and determining if the contact has been broken (i.e., if the contact has ceased). Determining movement of the point of contact may include determining speed (magnitude), velocity (magnitude and direction), and/or an acceleration (a change in magnitude and/or direction) of the point of contact. These operations may be applied to single contacts (e.g., one finger contacts) or to multiple simultaneous contacts (e.g., “multitouch”/multiple finger contacts). In some embodiments, the contact/motion module 130 and the display controller 156 also detects contact on a touchpad. In some embodiments, the contact/motion module 130 and the controller 160 detects contact on a click wheel.

The present invention relates generally to head-mounted display systems. More particularly, the present invention relates to improved arrangements for processing and displaying images in a head-mounted display system. Thus, within the context of the present disclosure a head-mounted display (HMD) is worn by a person on the head in order to have video information directly displayed in front of the eyes. An HMD for use with the present disclosure may have either one or two small CRT, LCD or OLED displays with magnifying lenses and other associated optical elements. The display(s) and optics are typically embedded in a helmet, glasses, or a visor, which a user can wear. HMDs may be configured as binocular HMDs for dual eye use. HMDs may also be configured as monocular HMDs for single eye use. The arrangement generally depends on the desired needs of the user.

Lenses and other optical components may be used to give the user the perception that the images are coming from a greater distance, to prevent eyestrain. In HMDs that use a single display, the image is typically projected through optics that split the image into two identical images and redirects each image to the respective eye. With two displays, the HMD can show stereoscopic images. The stereoscopic images attempt to create depth to the images by simulating the angular difference between the images viewed by each eye when looking at an object, due to the different positions of the eyes. This angular difference is one of the key parameters the human brain uses in processing images to create depth perception or distance in human vision.

Some HMDs can be used to view a see-through image imposed upon a real-world view, thereby creating what is typically referred to as an augmented reality. This is accomplished by reflecting the video images through partially reflective mirrors, such that the real world is seen through the mirrors' reflective surfaces. The augmented reality can be combined with the stereoscopic images in various types of applications. Some examples include applications in surgery, where radiographic data, such as CAT scans or MRI imaging can be combined with the surgeon's vision. Military, police and firefighters use HMDs to display relevant tactical information, such as maps or thermal imaging data. Engineers and scientists use HMDs to provide stereoscopic views of CAD schematics, simulations or remote sensing applications. Consumer devices are also available for use in gaming and entertainment applications.

In one configuration, the head mounted display includes a remote laser light engine that generates laser light associated with a display signal. The head mounted display also may include a head mounted display apparatus that is separated from the laser light engine and comprising a display unit that displays laser images. The head mounted display further includes an imaging device coupled between the remote laser light engine and the head mounted display apparatus. The imaging device creates laser images from the laser light transmitted through an optical cable in accordance with the display signal. The laser images are delivered to the display unit in order to create display images that can be viewed by a user of the head mounted display apparatus.

In another embodiment, the head mounted display includes a frame wearable on a user's head. The frame includes a viewing area. The head mounted display apparatus also includes one or more imaging devices that are physically decoupled from and in optical communication with a light arrangement. The imaging devices are carried by the frame and configured to create images from light received from the light arrangement in conjunction with a display signal. The head mounted display apparatus further includes a left optical element carried by the frame and positioned at the left of the viewing area. The left optical element is configured to receive images from at least one of the imaging devices and display them on a left imaging surface thereby creating left display images. The head mounted display apparatus additionally includes a right optical element carried by the frame and positioned at the right of the viewing area. The right optical element is configured to receive images from at least one of the imaging devices and display them on a right imaging surface thereby creating right display images. The left and right display images are viewable by a user when the frame is worn on the user's head, and the viewing area is positioned in front of the user's eyes.
